“It’s Either He Leaves or I Do” — Dressing Room Explodes After United’s Draw With West Ham

“It’s Either He Leaves or I Do” 

Manchester United’s 1–1 draw with West Ham has triggered one of the most explosive internal crises of the season. What began as a frustrating night for fans quickly escalated into full-blown dressing-room chaos. According to sources inside Old Trafford, the final whistle unleashed a confrontation so intense that staff members were left stunned — and the club now faces a major decision ahead of the January window.

The drama erupted when forward Bryan Mbeumo, furious and emotionally shaken, confronted young full-back Victor Dorgu in front of teammates. Mbeumo, unable to contain his frustration, declared that he could no longer share a dressing room with the defender after a late error cost United three crucial points. “It’s either he leaves in January or I do. Enough is enough,” he reportedly said, sending shockwaves through the squad. Witnesses described the scene as “the most heated moment of the season so far.”

Dorgu’s costly mistake — a loose touch deep in his own defensive third — handed West Ham the opportunity to fire home a late equaliser. But insiders insist the confrontation wasn’t about just one error. Mbeumo has allegedly been growing increasingly frustrated with what he sees as repeated lapses in concentration from the young defender. Those close to the squad say he believes these mistakes are damaging team morale, blocking progress, and undermining the hard work of players fighting to turn United’s season around.

Caught in the middle is manager Rúben Amorim, who now faces a massive dilemma. Amorim has defended Dorgu as a long-term project with real potential, yet he also values Mbeumo’s influence and intensity on the pitch. The manager reportedly held private talks with both players after the match, but neither was willing to back down. With tensions rising and unity crumbling, the situation has become impossible to ignore ahead of the January transfer window — and the club may be forced into action to restore peace.

For supporters, the fallout has sparked fierce debate. Some fans back Mbeumo, praising his passion and high standards. Others criticise him for issuing ultimatums and putting the team under unnecessary pressure. But one thing is certain: this draw feels far more damaging than just two dropped points. The internal divide now threatening the squad could shape United’s transfer plans, their dressing-room hierarchy, and possibly the entire trajectory of their season. The ripple effects of this heated exchange are only beginning — and the next 48 hours inside Old Trafford could define everything.
